Gopher of the Month

January, 2013: gopher.floodgap.com

Web2Gopher tries to make you gopher experience simpler by attempting to automatically detect if you're using a browser that supports gopher and providing you with either native gopher links or, if you're not using a compatible browser, routing you through a proxy-server. However, Web2Gopher's browser detection isn't perfect. If you are being given the wrong links, you can chose to use native gopher links or proxy links.
